FINAL INSTRUCTIONS
|
The coin is held between the thumb and forefinger,
and the latter then slid aside, so that the coin rests upon the side of the middle finger.
The forefinger then takes the place of the thumb, and the coin is held as in Fig. 3.
The action is simplified if the coin is held in the first instance between the thumb
and middle finger, but it looks awkward and suspicious. This method will be found
particularly adapted for concealing coins of the size of a shilling and less.
Larger coins should not be treated thus, except in emergencies, when anything is allowable.
